一樣地,《阿扁們》不會是一個人,即使是從一個人開始,慢慢地也會變成一群 人。3月7日的ABC成立大會,扁辦告訴我有五、六千人。不是為了阿扁一個人,而是為了台灣2300萬人;不是為了救扁,而是為了《阿扁們》的五大主張、信念與目標的追求與實踐。

support google

Taipei Times - archivesGoogle is still censoring search content for some of its customers in China, a company spokeswoman said yesterday, in a decision that underscores the Internet giant’s delicate effort to hold on to its Chinese businesses days after moving its search engine offshore.

The decision to provide censored searches was made to honor contracts with current business partners and Google will continue to meet those commitments, said Jessica Powell, the firm’s Tokyo-based spokeswoman.

台灣人拜台灣神 不做無根之民

*粗體字為楊緒東醫師撰寫之書評

本書於公元2000年出版,內容反應阿扁與阿珍的真實面,中國黨對阿扁當上ROC的總統,非常感冒,認為是奇恥大辱,長久以來中國黨以帝王家族自居,台灣民主選舉,不過是要騙騙選民,對台灣人的態度,不但輕蔑、醜化,還刻意分化與打壓。

受過中國黨官僚教育出來的次中國黨人,甘心為KMT所利用,不願意為台灣人服務。我們所說的「公僕」只是虛性名詞,因為眾官員為KMT黨國服務,才能陞官發財,故為法治把關的調查、司法、特、憲、情治、監察組織,成為中國黨御用工具,為虎作倀,以打擊反對勢力、壓制反對人士,藉之鞏固領導核心,公器私用,以保障自己的飯碗。

阿扁被收押400天以上,Beijing高興、KMT歡喜,中國黨安枕無憂啦!

台灣人阿扁當總統,為當全民總統,走新中間路線,對中國黨巴結有之,軟到極點,對深綠的基層反而嚴格;想袪除深藍的心防與疑慮,故對於中國黨加諸人身的造謠、抹黑、栽贓,默默忍受;對超大型政治操作之「紅衫軍」寬厚而不加以打壓。

台灣人當總統,就是與This man-Ma不同;更甚者,馬騜善於運用ROC的憲法、法律,騙到總統大位,立刻成為「騜上」,下令收押A-Bian,有些中KMT毒的台派,還真以為 A-Bian有罪。現在DPP隔離A-Bian,某些台派大老不敢公開為A-Bian講話,馬騜的white terror與Beijing的red terror成為台灣民主的最大反對勢力。

反對中國黨,就要您好看,歸順可以為朝臣,不從則姦而殺之,輾而致死。

在眾人的驚呼聲中,她砰然倒地。大家在錯愕之際還來不及反應,那輛拼裝車伴隨著緊急煞車輪胎的尖叫聲,以全速倒車,正要扶起她的大嫂趕緊跳開,黑色的車輪無情地輾過她還在地上掙扎的身軀。

煞車、入檔、踩油門、再起步,拼裝車司機似乎事先經過了無數次的練習,毫不手軟地再次將車輪壓過瘦弱的她。

在失去意識之前,她還依稀聽到撞倒她的人說:「沒有撞死嘛!」

這一天是1985年11月18日,是吳淑珍生命中最漫長、黑暗的一天,也是陳水扁從政以來,最大的一次打擊。
鍾年晃,2000,“少女吳淑珍",《走出金枝玉葉-阿扁嫂的故事》,TVBS周刊,台北,pp.4-5。

這場車禍其實是有前兆的,只是當時誰也沒想到,加害的對象竟然是吳淑珍而不是候選人陳水扁。當時,陳水扁的競選總部設在麻豆鎮的岳家,也就是吳淑珍的父親吳崑池醫生的家中。

在投票前幾天,吳淑珍的母親吳王霞女士,在家中就接獲一封署名為「台南縣民」的恐嚇信,信中寫著,「陳水扁少年得志,當心家庭殘缺,喪妻之痛....。」等恐嚇字眼。當時大家都不以為意,認定只是有人惡作劇,並不把這封信當作一回事,自然也沒有特別加強防範。而且,他們作夢也沒想到,加害的對象竟然是吳淑珍。

這場選舉,從一開始就充斥著暴力的陰影。在陳水扁自辦政見會的最後一天,曾因為喝了加「加料」的水而上吐下瀉,腹瀉不止;在吳淑珍出車禍的當天晚間,競選總部甚至還接到匿名電話說:「看你以後還敢不敢參選!」
鍾年晃,2000,“少女吳淑珍",《走出金枝玉葉-阿扁嫂的故事》,TVBS周刊,台北,p.6。

當天,吳淑珍穿著一身紅衣服,戴著太陽眼鏡,就在兩人聊得正起勁的時候,突然聽到一陣急促的引擎聲,一輛拼裝車正急速朝她們駛來。陳俊英心裡正在納悶,「這明明是一條死巷子,前面根本沒有路出去,這台車開這麼快幹什麼?」

陳俊英正想大叫,提醒小姑注意,但已經來不及了。所幸吳淑珍也聽到車子開過來的聲音,往旁邊跌了過去,並沒有被撞到。陳俊英正想趕過去扶小姑起來,沒想到那台車馬上緊急煞車,並且立刻倒車,又往小姑的方向開過來。陳俊英下意識地向旁邊跳開,這一次吳淑珍就沒有這麼幸運了,黑色的車輪無情地輾過她的紅色衣服,陳俊英在一旁,彷彿聽到骨骼碎裂聲,整個人都嚇傻了。

拼裝車好像一隻貪婪的怪獸,司機熟練地再次踩煞車、入檔,加油,再一次將上千公斤的重量壓在吳淑珍瘦小的身軀上。司機張榮財當場被工作人員逮捕飽以老拳。

然而,這一切已經於事無補。
鍾年晃,2000,“少女吳淑珍",《走出金枝玉葉-阿扁嫂的故事》,TVBS周刊,台北,pp.7-8。

張榮財所駕駛的拼裝車,壓過吳淑珍的頸椎與胸椎,是造成她受傷後不感到疼痛的主要原因。當時的她並沒有大量出血,外表根本看不出受重傷的樣子,內出血卻非常嚴重。不過,在場完全沒有人體察出事情的嚴重性。吳淑珍說,當時如果知道,就直接送台大醫院了,也不用先到台中榮總開一次刀,情況可能會好一點。
鍾年晃,2000,“少女吳淑珍",《走出金枝玉葉-阿扁嫂的故事》,TVBS周刊,台北,p.9。

吳淑珍車禍的消息見報後,當時的台大醫院外科副主任陳楷模立刻找來相關科別醫生,組成一個醫療小組,而且主動幫吳淑珍留了一間病房,他心裡想,吳淑珍一定會送到台大來。

果然,台中榮總的手術並不成功,吳淑珍又去台大動了另一次手術。忍受兩次椎心刺骨的疼痛,她從頭到尾沒有掉過一滴眼淚。

「那時候我覺得自己一定會死,沒想到還可以活著看到小孩長大。兒女是我最大的精神支柱,我承認,我愛我的兒女,比愛陳水扁多一點。」吳淑珍道出支持她活下去的原動力。
鍾年晃,2000,“少女吳淑珍",《走出金枝玉葉-阿扁嫂的故事》,TVBS周刊,台北,p.11。

車禍發生之後,台南地檢署只用了3天的時間,就將本案偵結,這種效率令身為律師的阿扁相當詫異。地檢署將張榮財移送台南地方法院審理,地院竟以嫌犯「有逃亡之虞」為理由,不淮交保,繼續收押張榮財。

張榮財所涉及的罪名只是「過失傷人」而已,並未觸犯本刑7年以上有期徒刑的法律,依法並不需要收押,但地院卻不淮交保,這種異乎尋常的作法,更增加陳水扁心中的疑竇。
鍾年晃,2000,“少女吳淑珍",《走出金枝玉葉-阿扁嫂的故事》,TVBS周刊,台北,p.13。

衡量當年的政治情況,陳水扁即使身為律師,只要張榮財不說,他也沒有能力追查出事情的真相。

後來,張榮財表示,願意賠償50萬元,阿扁並未接受,反而將整個案子撤銷。夫妻兩人共同的想法是,冤冤相報何時了,即使把張榮財打死了又如何呢?只希望他自己有一天良心發現,說出幕後的真相,讓這件十多年歷史的無頭公案能夠有真相大白的一天。
鍾年晃,2000,“少女吳淑珍",《走出金枝玉葉-阿扁嫂的故事》,TVBS周刊,台北,p.14。

她對政治的敏銳觀察,絶不輸任何一位在政壇打滾多年的政治人物。與生俱來的親和力,不必有太多的政治語言、身段,自然可以吸引路人佇足旁觀。率真的性格,一針見血的言論,足以戳破習慣偽裝的政客面具。強烈的正義感、是非觀念,絶不容許有任何灰色地帶。

這就是吳淑珍,一個將陳水扁推上政治舞台,卻又抱怨老公經常不在家的家庭主婦。她就像每天出現在你我身邊的鄰家媽媽,一切都顯得那麼自然、率真。
鍾年晃,2000,“少女吳淑珍",《走出金枝玉葉-阿扁嫂的故事》,TVBS周刊,台北,p.15。

traitor as this man-Su

Taipei Times - archives

http://help.funp.com/lib/exe/fetch.php/funp/tools/tools_postbtn_script.png?cache=cacheSo “meritorious” was Su’s service to this nation that he was part of the very same KMT-led legislature that, during eight “sick” — so Su claims — years of Democratic Progressive Party rule under then-­president Chen Shui-bian (陳水扁), blocked hundreds of resolutions and brought national development to a standstill. So “meritorious” was legislator Su that he made unsubstantiated claims that the Chen administration was seeking to develop nuclear weapons. If lies and incompetence are signs of merit, then Su truly deserved Ma’s medal.

Los Angeles vigil for Taiwan independence creates stir outside federal building

Los Angeles vigil for Taiwan independence creates stir outside federal building

The people and banners have doubled since the weekly vigils outside the Los Angeles federal building began earlier this year. Talking to pedestrians, hand-billing stopped motorists, waving signs and shouting, two dozen loyal Taiwan supporters gather in any kind of weather to take their message to the street.

The flags and signs tell passers-by that Taiwan remains a United States responsibility until a freely chosen Taiwanese civil government can be established on the island. Presently, Taiwan is controlled by the Republic of China in-exile, landed on the island by U.S. military forces at the end of World War II.

The Los Angeles petitioners argue that the San Francisco Peace Treaty, where Japan gave up Taiwan, left the United States in charge of Taiwan's fate instead of the Republic of China, which was not a signatory to the treaty.

The Cold War and Communist revolution in China followed by the Korean War and then the Vietnam War kept Taiwan's legal status, a "strategic ambiguity", in limbo to the present time.

Last year the District of Columbia U.S. Court of Appeals called the people of Taiwan "stateless" and caught in "political purgatory" urging President Barack Obama to act "expeditiously" to resolve the status. The United States does not recognize Taiwan, Taiwan is barred from the United Nations and even kept out of the World Health Organization.

Because the Republic of China is an exiled government, forced from China in 1949 during the Communist revolution and imposed on the people of Taiwan, the islanders have never had a chance to decide their own form of government.

Since President Obama has not acted on the federal appellate court's request, the vigil petitioners show up each week at the Los Angeles federal building to inform the public about Taiwan.

One of the newest petitioners is the oldest, at 97 years-old. The other demonstrators lovingly call her Grandma while she does her part.

Bad weather does not stop the vigil as the petitioners don rain gear and keep talking and holding their signs. The vigil goes on.

Taiwan or chinese Taipei

Taipei Times - archivesAmid complaints by Plurkers and concerns by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MOFA) following a tip-off from Democratic Progressive Party Legislator Kuan Bi-ling (管碧玲), CNN on Sunday corrected its Web site after initially quoting the US National Ocean and Atmospheric Administration’s Pacific Tsunami Warning Center as calling Taiwan “Chinese Taipei” in its tsunami watch report.

Despite its initial inertia and lack of awareness, the ministry deserves praise for swiftly responding to Kuan’s alert and requesting that CNN make the correction on its Web site.
